Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
When scrolling in Gmail (and other websites however its not as noticable) the scrolling performance is terrible. There is a slight lag from when it starts to scroll to when it actually does scroll. On my Windows XP machine it is MUCH faster (basically instant). This is present with both Compiz enabled and disabled.

Over half the time is under nsTextFrame: :PaintText.
Can you hunt down a regression range for this? That would make it easier to tell what's going on... It would also help to have either a minimal testcase or at least a testcase attached to this bug.
Are we invalidating/ repainting too much or something?
Nominating, but I don't think this should block necessarily. I do think it should be wanted (next or 1.9).
